This 1972 Porsche 914 is powered by a 2.0-liter flat-four sourced from a 1973 model and mated to a 5-speed side shift manual transaxle. The second owner is reported to have performed the installation in 2007 along with a cosmetic refresh which included an exterior repaint in Signal Orange. Placed in longterm storage by the third owner until its purchase by the seller in 2016, the car has received extensive maintenance totaling $15k within the past two years including a transaxle rebuild, new clutch, valve adjustment, brake and fuel system servicing, and more as detailed below. Recent additions also include Turbo tie rods, Mahle wheels, and interior updates. This 914 is sold with records from 2016 onward and a clean Maryland title in the seller’s name.

The car was returned to its original Signal Orange in 2007 per the second owner, following a prior repaint in a green color that remains visible in a few locations. The finish and body are pictured in detail in the gallery below along with noted areas of overspray and blemishes. New fog light grilles, bumper pads, and a Porsche script rear reflector have been added by the seller.

The seller installed a set of NOS Mahle alloy wheels measuring 15×5.5″ and fitted with Falken Ziex tires. A complete set of Riviera wheels can be installed in place of the Mahle wheels for the new owner. A small dent is present on the left side of the front bumper and shown in the gallery below.

Trimmed in black vinyl with gray houndstooth seat inserts, the interior features a new steering wheel, sun visors, German carpets topped with new coco mats, and a period Porsche Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo. Several photos capture the condition of the interior surfaces, including a noted tear in the vinyl near the interior light.

The 5-digit odometer indicates just under 69k miles per the seller, with total mileage unknown. The trunk opens via an electronic solenoid operated with a button mounted under the dash. The turn signal is noted to sporadically return to the neutral position, the radio emits a brief crackle when powered on, and the cigarette lighter is inoperable.

Under the rear deck lid resides a 2.0L flat-four sourced from a 1973 model and installed by a previous owner in 2007. In addition to a rebuild of the side shift 5-speed transaxle following his purchase, the seller has performed maintenance work reportedly totaling $15k and including:
